Hi,

The effect of insulin is to decrease blood glucose. So, insulin is known to increase membrane permeability to glucose. If you are increasing insulin concentration then you are also increasing more membrane permeability to glucose. For example, when concentrations of insulin is lower there are specialized glucose transporters such as GLUT4 which stay in cytosol and do not transport glucose. But if there is high concentrations of insulin, it ends up binding to insulin receptor and activates cell signaling event, which allows translocation of GLUT4 from vesicles to plasma membrane. Once, GLUT4 glucose transporter fuses with Plasma membrane it elevates GLUT4 concentration and also increases glucose take up by cells.
Hope this helps.  Slight Smile

Both insulin and glucagon are secreted from the pancreas, and thus are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones.
